The answer that you submitted suggests that you chose an incorrect process. If one of the sections below does not match your situation please visit the feedback discussion page for try the thermodynamic process demo question again.




Process

The answer that you submitted suggests that you determined the process to be isothermal, when it was an adiabatic process. Adiabatic processes are more difficult to calculate than isothermal processes. When dealing with ideal gases, it is common for a mistake in calculating the [math]V^{\,\gamma}[/math] to lead to a result that appears like an isothermal process. Please review this short video that may help you with this calculation and then try the question again.

Pressure change

The answer that you submitted suggests that you determined the process to be isobaric (constant pressure). You may find it helpful to compare the intial and final pressures more carefully in the future. If the final pressure is different from the initial pressure the ideal gas did not go through an isobaric process.

Volume change

The answer that you submitted suggests that you determined the process to be isochoric (constant volume). You may find it helpful to compare the intial and final volumes more carefully in the future. If the final volume is different from the intial volume, the ideal gas did not go through an isochoric process.
